The First National Marijuana Ad Is Here

News

Marijuana Doctors, a company that connects medical approved patients with doctors, claims it will air the first marijuana commercial to air on a major network. The ad stirs up a comedic parallel between a suspicious drug dealer attempting to hustle shady sushi to unsuspecting buyers, and medicinal patients looking to get their Mary Jane in a similar circumstances.

Thinkprogress.com reports:“Although medical marijuana is legal in New Jersey—the state started issuing medical marijuana identification cards in 2012—adult patients currently have greater access to the drug than children. Child marijuana patients in New Jersey are technically allowed to access edible marijuana, but marijuana in this form isn’t generally available at New Jersey dispensaries.”

The commercial will air in New Jersey and on several national networks—including A&E, Fox, CNN, Comedy Central, Food Network and the History Channel.
